Discussions over the future of the North American free trade pact could be pushed earlier than originally planned, said one of Mexico’s top trade negotiators.
Mexico’s Deputy Economy Minister for Trade Luis Rosendo Gutierrez, the nation’s second most senior commerce negotiator, said that talks over the White House’s latest round of global tariffs could accelerate the process of reviewing the trilateral trade deal known as the USMCA. Mexico plans to ask the US to allow for duty exemptions covered by the deal to continue to apply to many of its exports, including in the auto sector.
